The howl that came up from all Darts
of the State against the appointment of
John II. Paynter Judge in the place of
Judge WoOtten to make a wav for
Governor Biggs to elevate his son John
to the Office of Attorney General. has
not deferred him in the least. On
Monday John Biggs was appointed At
torney- General, thus verifying the
charge of nepotism.
The following from the EUerv Eren-
ing is a brief sketch of his life:
John Biggs was born near Middle
town October 10Th, 1866. He was pre-
pared for college at Hightstown. N I
and Rugby Academy, Wilmington. the
fall of IA he entered the sophomore
class at Princeton, finishing his course
there in 1877. He then came to vii
mingtOn and studied under Victor du-
POnt, Esq, and was admitted to the bar
at the November term, 1879. His mai
den effort at the February term. 1880
was highly commended by the papers
irrespective of party. In January. 1888
he became the second president of the
Young Mems Democratic Club of viii.
mingtOn, and was reelected in January.
1908, uoiuluH OlAC6 uillll Jan uafy, 1880.
It is claimed by the most intimate
friends of Governor Biggs that of those
mentioned for the position, he appoin-
ted 20 the judgesh' p one who had been
for 80 years or more q personal friend
and the one he considered best fitted
for the position. BE this as il NAV.
John Biggs decided that he would not
accept the position of Encouragement
unless such action met the approval Of
the bar Of the State. More than 80 law
yers signed the petition asking for his
appointment to the strongest recon.
mendation ever given by the lawyers
ofthis State. 1t will be we'll to state
here that there are less than 75 LAWYERS
in the State. And of those who did not
sign the petition it may be said that it
was not because they were opposed to
Mr.. Biggs, but because they were afraid
of appearing to approve Of the appoint
ment of Judge Paynter. Il has been
matter Of comment that as Mr.. Biggs.
as deputy attorney general did most of
the work Of the attorney generals Of
fee he should receive the pay for his
work.

Gift Berry Crates and Gift Peach
Baskets.

As misery likes company, the action
of the New York Fruit and Produce
Exchange in declaring that the berry
crates shall be free brings together both
peach and berry farmers to sympathize
with each other, over the injury about
to be inflicted upon them and the loss
they may sustain this Summer. We
must confess the outlook is far from
hattering; and is the most severe of
any year in the history of our States
small fruit culture.
We had settled down to the opinion
that in the culture of small fruits our
whole community had reached a prom
inent basis of prosperity in the profit to
the grower, in the profitable employ
ment of our women and children in the
berry patches, in the stimulence to
trade of our merchants through the in
creased circulation of cash from both
growers and pickers and finally in the
advantage to our crate manufacturers
as the Marvels at Laurel.
II the patches have to be plowed nm.
with one sweep all these interests will
go.

Paper Peach Basket

When a week or two ago one of the
peach growers suggested in a commu-
nication in the TIMES. paper peach
baskets to ship peaches in as a way out
of the snarl about = free baskets " to 90
with the fruit, it doubtless raised a
smile Of ineredulity on the part Of
many, but it seems such a basket has
come, and the inventor says, come to
stay, and in multiplied numbers. His
name is Geo. H. Gillette, of New York
and he was in Smyrna yesterday. He
talked around with our peach growers
to learn something of the kind of bas-
ket wanted, and Chas. H. Register, act
ing as his agent, will have a specimen
Of the basket at the meeting OF the
peach growers on Saturday afternoon
next. The NetU York World which has
a picture of it says it can be made for
about four cents, Mr.. Qillette's factory
is at Newark, N. j., and he says after
the first of May he can turn them out
at the rate of $1,000 a day.

The bill fixing the first Tuesday of
November 1888 to vote " for or against
a convention" to frame new cOnstitu
tion, passed the Senate last week with
only two dissenting votes ferguson
and Bacon, opposed to a convention in
tOto) and having previously passed the
House by large majority. is now a
law. The thus fixing the election On
an off year with the thousands of per-
sons disqualified, as we have hereto
fore stated was believed to be an effort
to kill it under the guise of friendship,
but whether so or not, the friends OF
constitutional reform have but one
course to pursue, viz; do their duty,
vote for the bill, and work for it as il
there were not almost insurmountable
barriers in the way. The earnest
friends of constitutional reform in the
Legislature wanted another bill which
could not be forced through and ac-
cepted this as the only measure that
couldpass. Considering the deep rooted
bourbon feeling and the subtle influ-
ence Of the Office holders and their
friends in opposition 10 any change, il
is great triumph to get even this
much. An actual vote of 1880 must
be pOlled in favor ofconvention. With
the difficulties in the way, can this be
done on an off year? 1t can, only, BY
the Democrats giving it their united
support and votes.

THE Local option bill introduced by
speaker McCabe last week in the Legis-
lature seems to awaken but little more
than passing thought in any locality
or any organization. This grows out
of the fact that the general idea every
where has been that whatever should
be conceived and brought forth by the
Legislature TO answer certain demand
of the reformers, would fall still-born
from the committee that reported it.
No measure could become law that
had written between every line the
fore ordination stamp of defeat. 1t is
as indicated, repetition of the pre-
ceeding Legislatures-a respectful way
of showing how not to do it. The bill
contemplates an election by counties
next November, a week later than the
prospective election on the question
of a convention. The bill emanates
from the Delaware State Temperance
Alliance.

The Inland Canal.

The Morning Nei0s in commenting
on what a Wilmington engineer is doing
in draining and making valuable the
low lands in Florida, speaks of what
might be done with our marsh lands
such as Bombay Hook and other Bav
shore lands, by an inland canal, and
concludes:
y Here in Delaware such an improve
ment would be beneficial at once to
thousands Of inhabitants and would
drain the land of hundreds of small
owners. Such work has been proiec-
ted on small scale in the Assawaman
canal, which will afford inland commu-
nication from Chincoteagus sound in
Maryland to Indian river in Delaware.
But the project when executed should
be extended north along the Sussex and
Kent shores even to the Appoauini-
Ai1k in this county. Such a canal
would find 8 lgrge amount ofcommerce
ready fVrit, and tbe jpdiyidual land
owners would promptly use IL Cor the
better drainage Of the adjacent areas.
This state has begun this work bv an
propriating $1,000 for The purchase Of
right Of way for the Assawaman canal.
We trust that the next Legislature will
appropriate five times that amount for
the surveying Of the coastline."

April Shows.

The fall of snow on Saturday morn
ing, April End, being the third dav of
the storm, caused John B. Cooper. from
the very wintry aspect of things to
make a search through his diarV for
something similar in the preceding
years. He found the following result
1885, April l1th, showed two hours.
melting as it fell; 1882, April 10th
mixed snow and rain; 1881, April 5tb'
thermometer registering2 26o and ice sths
OF an inch thick; 1880, April 10Th,
thermometer 2S0, four degrees below
freezing point; 1875 (the year of worst
promises and best results) on the 10Th
of April showed fast all the morning
on the 18th freezing all day, on the
18th, ice nearly an inch thick. This
was the year of the big peach crop and
many thought on the morning last
named that the crop was utterly blasted
but while the buds had a scalded look
after the sun warmed the temperature
the blossoms which were nearly ready
to open were yet sufficiently closed ia
protect the young gems at the base Of
the bud. 1t will be observed, that Mr.,
Cooper found no record of the Jingle OF
sleigh bells on the first and second dav
of April as was the case this wear. q
three days snow storm with sufficient
fall to have made foot in depth had
none of it melted.
